Don’t get phished: watch out for scam emails targeting UC accounts

19 May 2026

UC has seen an increase in phishing emails targeting students and staff, including some that appear to come from legitimate UC accounts or other universities. 

HOW TO APPLY

These emails may include SharePoint links or documents asking you to sign in. Some are designed to capture your login session and gain unauthorised access to your account.

Take extra care with unexpected links or attachments, even if the message appears to come from someone you know. If anything seems unusual, don’t enter your login details.

Report suspicious messages using the Report Message button in Outlook or send them to report-phishing@canterbury.ac.nz.

Staying alert helps protect you and UC.
